18. Before I went to Ghana, I truly didn't know what to
expect with regards to both the traineeship and the
country. Looking back at the experience so far, I can say
that it has been by far the most interesting year in my life!
Ghana welcomes You!
19. I've seen a full solar eclipse, met interesting people from
all over the world, visited gold mines for my traineeship,
learned to speak English fluently, saw a lot of strange
insects and animals, learned to negotiate with cab
drivers, discovered a working culture completely
different from everything I was ever used to, went to
tropical beaches, and ate food I never heard of before.
Ghana welcomes You!
20. Of course it is not all perfect here since it is a third
world country after all, but the dangers and threats are
certainly not as high as most people think. As long as
you pay a little bit of attention to the things you do,
you'll be fine and you are in for quite an experience! So
go for a traineeship in Ghana, you won't regret it!
